Postherpetic neuralgia and herpes zoster can be reduced by shingles vaccine. A previous study has found that the shingles vaccine may help reduce pain and complications of not only shingles but of postherpetic neuralgia as well. Unfortunately not many adults receive the shingles vaccine thus leading to complications.
The researchers found only 3.9 percent of participants were vaccinated and vaccine rates were lower among blacks and those of lower income.
